Gubernatorial Nominee Sells Out Hardhats
To guarantee the huge union political machine’s backing for her gubernatorial campaign, Abigail Spanberger is pushing for union-only PLAs for taxpayer-funded construction.
PLA's DOA in Tennessee
Project Labor Agreements (PLAs), kickbacks to Big Labor unions that drive up the cost of construction projects by nearly 25% have been banned in Tennessee thanks to legislation signed into law by Gov. Bill Haslam. Tennessee is the fourth state to ban PLA’s in 2011, joining another four that had previously banned PLA’s on projects funded by the taxpayers.
In an age of belt-tightening, there is no reason to pay inflated dollars for construction contracts all to please Big Labor.
